  January 16, 2022 - This bottle has been cellared nicely for many years and it was drinking en pointe.
  
  Opaque dark ruby. Cassis, chocolate powder, blackberry compote, earthy dust, charcoal, rich blueberry, vanilla. Very smooth with fully resolved tannins, medium (+) acidity and a lovely mouthfeel. Medium bodied with a good length finish that has a mineral streak alongside the rich fruit flavors. This wine is at peak, and needs to be drunk sooner rather than later. Lovely stuff that’s hard to put down. 92 points and 4 stars for this treat that runs $150 new.

  December 14, 2021 - A step up from our prior bottle. More complexity, more structure. Still not as big and bold as other 2013 Napa cabs, but is in a very enjoyable spot.

  September 10, 2021 - Big and jammy with some cab franc vegetal notes but not the tannins and finish we were hoping for.

  March 21, 2020 - A little thin and got thinner over the course of the bottle. Nice wine, but nothing special.

  March 1, 2020 - A really nice cab, but much more nuanced than the typical Napa cab in this price range, especially for a 2013. We prefer our cabs a little bolder.
